Over the past decade, several hundred thousand visitors to more than a dozen museums in the U.S. have been able to experience first-hand the extraordinary art and story of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz. More than 40years after the Holocaust, Esther depicted her remarkable story of survival through a stunningly beautiful series of 36 fabric collage and embroidery panels. Untrained as an artist, she depicted in vivid color and exquisite detail one young girl's eyewitness account of the war, scenes of tragedy and trauma juxtaposed with the exquisite beauty of the natural surroundings. It is as if nothing escaped Esther's attention, or her memory.

Multi-media visual artist Hanan Harchol mines personal family psychodynamics to illuminate the complexity of ethical values in contemporary life. This project consists of animated shorts and graphic novels, combining thousands of years of Jewish wisdom on topics such as apology, forgiveness, gratitude, love, fear, humility, and others, in an artful way. The goal of the project is to distill these relevant and very human Jewish teachings in a vehicle that is accessible, entertaining, funny, and fresh.

OVERVIEW: The exhibition presents images of Eastern Europe in the mid twentieth century, inspired by the artist's memory of Poland, Ukraine and Russia. Having witnessed the tumultuous years of two world wars and shifting political narratives, Lembersky reveals the land and people who bore the gifts and the burdens of life with grace, humility and compassion.

FELIX LEMBERSKY (1913-1970, born in Lublin, Poland, died in Leningrad, the Soviet Union) was an artist, easel painter, theater sets designer, a teacher and an organizer of artistic groups. A refugee of World War I, he was raised in Berdichev, Ukraine, educated in Kiev and Leningrad, and lived in Leningrad and the Urals. Lembersky was a participant of World War II, a survivor of the Siege of Leningrad, where he was wounded during the city's defense. His parents perished in Holocaust in Ukraine.

Among his most moving works are the portraits of his fellow citizens and the places where he lived. His art is rooted in the early Russian and Jewish Avant-Garde and enriched by the mastery of representational technique and his rigorous classical education at the Academy of Art in Leningrad. The result is a broad range of work--from realism to non-mimetic expression.

Lembersky defined a new direction in Jewish art after the World War II--the art that is centered on Judaic texts, religious and spiritual worldview, and modern Yiddish culture, without reliance on conventional shtetel prototypes. Holocaust is prominent in his work. His Execution. Babi Yarpaintings (1944-52) are considered to be the earliest artistic rendering of the Nazi massacres in Kiev. LEMBERSKY devoted much of his work to the war and Jewish experience in it. Yet despite the gravity of his themes, his paintings are exquisitely beautiful and full of color and light that lift the spirit and delight the eye.

FORMAT: Exhibition comprises 20 to 50 oils and works on paper. All of the work is in Massachusetts. The exhibition would be a resource to viewers with interest in art and history, to academic researchers, students and teachers. It complements curriculum in the areas of Jewish, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish history, World War II and postwar European and Jewish studies, literature, religion and social justice. Programming could include lectures and symposia on American and Soviet interaction, geo-politics and art, as a precursor to current events. In the past, music, film and literary events were held in conjunction with exhibition.

A meditative, environmental installation, dedicated to the healing professions, is inspired by the ten psalms deemed by Rabbi Nachman to promote healing and by Kabbalah's mystical illumination of the connections between the divine and human worlds.

This exhibit uses the narrative of one couple to explore the Holocaust. Through the story of Hedwig and Paul Strnad, visitors will build their understanding of transcontinental connections, Bohemian Jewish history, Theresienstadt concentration camp, and the fashion industry in Czechoslovakia.

The following messages are central to this exhibit:

1) Each victim of the Holocaust has his/her own story that deserves to be remembered.

2) The Holocaust not only took human lives, but also their contributions to our world.

3) The material items around us are an important means of remembering and discerning information about culture and history (drawn designs, dresses, photos, letters, recordings, etc.).

4) The actions of people in our world today can meaningfully help to remember those lost.

Stitching History From the Holocaust is an original exhibition developed by Jewish Museum Milwaukee.

The Time of a Great Dream: American Artists Gift to the Jewish Autonomous Region in the USSR

The exhibition is a brilliant historical example of peaceful collaboration and cultural exchange between two superpowers, the United States and the Former Soviet Union. When in the late 1920, the Soviet government decided to establish a Jewish homeland in the Russian Far East, a number of American artists united to support this Jewish settlement in Birobidzhan, the new Promised Land, and organized an exhibit that was meant to be gifted to the Birobidzhan Museum. However, due to Stalin's repressions, it never happened, but the collection ended up at the State Museum of Ethnography in Leningrad. Many works were destroyed during the war, and today the museum has 74 works that are identified as part of the "Gift to Birobidzhan" collection. Majority of them are engravings and some of them are presented in this exhibition.

Tikkun: Aliza Olmert

HEBREW UNION COLLEGE-JEWISH INSTITUTE OF RELIGIONOne West 4th StreetNew York, NY United States of America

Conceptual photographs based on fragile constructions of broken egg shells convey the vulnerability of exhistence, obstacles to survival, and the imperative to sustain life. Tikkun, the Jewish charge to heal the world, is expressed through the mending of the shattered fragments.

A traveling exhibition of the Voices & Visions Master Series (https://www.voices-visions.org/) is framed and ready to exhibit, and is being made available without a rental charge. The series of 18 posters by master Jewish designers such as Seymour Chwast, R. O. Blechman, Carin Goldberg, and Milton Glaster was commissioned by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. CAJM members were introduced to the project at the 2013 conference in New York. The only cost is for one-way shipping to forward the exhibit to the next exhibitor or to return it to the lender.

This exhibition features photographic reproductions of 10 drawings by Helga Weissová, a teenage girl at Terezin. These photographs depict Helga's view of life in the Terezin ghetto in Czechoslovakia, during the Holocaust.

In Terezin, children were allowed to make artwork; Helga's father urged her to draw what she saw. During an exhibit of children's works there, Helga was told to throw hers away, since they were too documentary in nature. Instead she saved them, and when she and her mother were deported to Auschwitz in September 1944, she entrusted the pictures to her uncle. He hid them in a wall until liberation, and then took them back to Prague. Miraculously, Helga and her mother survived, having being transferred from Auschwitz to a work detail in Germany.

The exhibit immerses visitors in an interactive world of Super Heroes and illuminates the creative processes of their originators. features 1940s serials, video interviews, a vintage child-size Bat mobile ride, interactive phone booth, a drawing studio, and costumes. Comes with installation and de-installation supervisor, catalogues, and rights to show serials.

Fifty international artists explore one of the pillars of Jewish practice and belief: the sanctity of the Sabbath through provocative works of art. In an era when technology and culture have eroded the boundaries separating work, play, and repose, their works invite us to delve into the possibilities and new definitions of renewal symbolized by the 'day of rest.'Through the crucible of their creativity, the artists in this exhibition offer new ways to imagine Shabbat and reflect the profound insights that Abraham Joshua Heschel observed in The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man:

"The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation, from the world of creation to the creation of the world."

For Americans, the iconography of Nazism is found in the swastika, jackboot, and Nazi banner. But another symbol accompanied the Third Reich: In January 1933, torchlight parades announced the onset of the Nazi revolution; a month later, the Reichstag fire consumed the last vestiges of the Weimar Constitution. In May, German university students launched an "Action Against the Un-German Spirit" targeting authors such as Helen Keller, Ernest Hemingway and Sigmund Freud. The exhibition of 60 free-standing panels with interaction and A/V components explores how the book burnings became a potent symbol in America's battle against Nazism.

The exhibition examines the Jewish experience in the United States through the prisms of "Haven" and "Home." "Haven" opens with a selection of pivotal documents expressing the ideals of freedom that have come to represent the promise of America. This section also explores the formative experiences of Jewish immigrants as they struggled to become American. The "Home" section focuses on the opportunities and challenges inherent in a free society and the uniquely American Jewish religious movements, institutions, and associations created in response. In telling the story of diverse groups of Jewish immigrants who made the United States their home, the exhibition examines the intertwined themes, and sometimes conflicting aims, of accommodation, assertion, adaptation, and acculturation that have characterized the American Jewish experience from its beginnings in 1654 to the present day.

The exhibition arrive ready to install, with curatorial and registrarial information, public relations materials, publications, and installation, handling and shipping instructions. Educational and programming materials may be designed upon request.

The National Museum of American Jewish Military History often creates portable versions of the exhibits on display in the Museum galleries. This exhibition consists of 16 panels, 20" x 30" black foam-core, quarter-inch sheets with laminated black and white images.

Cuba welcomed Jews for 100 years. Some American Jews helped support the efforts for Cuban Independence beginning in 1892. Sephardim arrived in 1902 and Ashkenazim came in the 1920s. After World War II, German-speaking refugees and Holocaust survivors found a safe haven there. Cuba at first was reluctant to grant Jews nationalized status; the U.S. State Department pressured Havana not to change its policies lest the Jewish immigrants seek entry into the United States. By the 1930s Cubans Jews were permitted to become citizens in Cuba and most lived comfortable lives there until the Revolution on January 1, 1959.

By 1960 many private holdings in Cuba were expropriated. As most of the island's Jews were engaged in business and had gained a secure place in the middle class, many became disenchanted with the Revolution that was beginning to show Communist tendencies. About 10,000 of the 12,000 Cuban Jews had to leave everything behind them when they fled to South Florida.

These large format candid photographs by Randi Sidman-Moore reflect the daily lives and life and holiday cycles rituals of the Cuban Jews in South Florida. With excerpts from oral histories, the images show how they are different or similar to the larger society. These "Jewbans" are examples of diversity within one cultural landscape.

About 12 years ago, Miami photographer Randi Sidman-Moore was on a trip to Israel when she ended up in a bus with Cuban Jews from Miami. ''They had me in tears they were so funny,'' the photojournalist recalls. "The other Jews were so quiet, but they were having a party on the bus. They introduced me to the whole subculture.'' Sidman-Moore says she knew immediately that she wanted to explore the lives of Cuban Jews, to tell in photographs the story of what makes them different from other Jews, and different from other Cubans.

Through reproductions of historic photographs and documents, this free-standing panel exhibition explores the rationale, means, and impact of the Nazi regime’s persecution of homosexuals, which left thousands dead and shattered the lives of many more.

A panel exhibit and a 40-minute documentary film focusing on the service and sacrifice of a very special group of women. Although the men of the "Greatest Generation" have been chronicled many times, little has been written about the experiences of women during that period. Women in the military served in a number of capacities, while at home, they took over many jobs to free men for combat. The war did expand some opportunities not only for women, but for Jewish women. This film and exhibit focuses on the stories of several women, representing the thousands who did their duty and then get on with their lives.

The exhibit consists of 4 panels (25" X 35" each), one title panel (10" X 15"), and an introductory panel (18" X 27".) The introductory panel consists of general historical background. Each of the other panels contains photos and quotes from the participants.

This popular exhibition explores the traditions, history, and meaning of the game of mah jongg in Jewish-American life from the 1920s to today. The game of mah jongg is explored in dynamic formats throughout the exhibition including 20th-century popular objects and a visitor-activated soundscape featuring the sounds of clacking tiles, reminiscences, and vintage music.Large-scale graphics by Isaac Mizrahi, Maira Kalman, Bruce McCall, and Christoph Niemann show mah jongg as a stylistic muse. A game table at the center of the exhibition invites visitors to engage in the continuing tradition.Project Mah Jongg is the first exhibition of its kind—taking visitors on an exploration of the game's cultural meanings through sight, sound, text, and play.

Included in the traveling exhibition are: the exhibition structures, casework, graphics and texts, artifacts (which you may use, or substitute with your own community’s like artifacts);3 CD players (with speakers) for visitor-activated soundscape;a hands-on mah jongg set for visitor games.

Photographs, documents, and artifacts depict how the largest DP camp in liberated Germany, a self-governed Jewish community, established political, cultural, religious, educational, and social activities that renewed Jewish life and played a significant role in the struggle to establish the State of Israel.

Challenging stereotypes of the Jewish people, the exhibit portrays six communities whose populations share the outward appearance and lifestyles of the people who surround them, with one major difference: they are practicing Jews. Exhibit includes 35 framed photographs, labels, 7 text panels, and accompanying a/v slide exhibition.

· Description: The Scottish Jewish community dates back to the 1700s and has contributed significantly to Scottish life, yet not a lot is known about it. This contemporary photography exhibition seeks to redress this, with images of Jewish life from across Scotland reflecting a diverse community maintaining its traditions while also embracing Scottish culture. This is a unique project never before undertaken and may never be repeated because the community is in decline (now numbering around 6,000). The exhibition is being launched at the Scottish Parliament in February 2014 in the presence of First Minister Alex Salmond. It will then tour throughout the UK and internationally, and the leading publisher Bloomsbury is producing a fine art book of the photographs.

· Examples from the Exhibition: http://www.judahpassow.com/galleries/scotgallery/

· Technical: The exhibition will arrive framed and in special crates. There are 80 images in the full exhibition, all black and white with dimensions (including frame) 17 3/4 " x 13 " x 1 5/8" or 45 cm. x 32 cm. x 1.5 cm. (length x height x width). There will also be two display boards - one giving a brief history of the community, the other listing the sponsors.

· Availability: it is available from summer 2014 onwards

· Cost: The project would like the venue to cover installation and taking down, all publicity, one leg of transportation and a rental fee. All this is subject to negotiation.

Recognizing that the situation of fall 1939 required careful documentation and preservation, Emanuel Ringelblum formed a group code-named Oyneg Shabbes (Joy of Sabbath). Its mission was to document Jewish life in Nazi-occupied Poland. Reports on the deportation and murders of Jews, ghetto artifacts, photographs, children's school essays, and ghetto art were collected by the clandestine group from September 1939 until January 1943.

As the Nazis began liquidating the ghetto, Oyneg Shabbes buried the archive in several containers. In 1946, the first cache was pulled from the ghetto's rubble; a second was found in 1950; the last cache has been lost. Less than a handful of the group's members survived. "The Ringelblum Archive," as the materials came to be known, is the most important source for, and the most poignant testimony to, the destruction of Warsaw Jewry.

Rental includes 53 framed reproductions of the artifacts, labels, 4 panels, and 1DVD of the Archives being recovered in 1946.

The exhibit recounts the racially charged and tragic events surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan in 1913 and the lynching of Leo Frank two years later. Includes catalogues, teachers guide, docent training materials, press materials, final art and audio tour

State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SWWashington, DC United States of America

This groundbreaking multimedia exhibition explores how Nazi propagandists won over millions of Germans to their radical program using sophisticated advertising techniques and the latest technology. It encourages visitors to reflect upon the responsibilities of producers and consumers of propaganda today.

This exhibit uses the narrative of one couple to explore the Holocaust. Through the story of Hedwig and Paul Strnad, visitors will build their understanding of transcontinental connections, Bohemian Jewish history, Theresienstadt concentration camp, and the fashion industry in Czechoslovakia.

The following messages are central to this exhibit:

1) Each victim of the Holocaust has his/her own story that deserves to be remembered.

2) The Holocaust not only took human lives, but also their contributions to our world.

3) The material items around us are an important means of remembering and discerning information about culture and history (drawn designs, dresses, photos, letters, recordings, etc.).

4) The actions of people in our world today can meaningfully help to remember those lost.

Stitching History From the Holocaust is an original exhibition developed by Jewish Museum Milwaukee.

From ancient and medieval times to the present use of the internet, grotesque and cruel visual representations of Jewish people and others have stoked the flames of intolerance. This exhibit focuses on the effective use of graphics and imagery over the centuries to foster bigotry and social division. Its goal is to show the origins and mutation of these hateful images and to sensitize viewers to the continued use of propaganda.

The photo exhibition "The Jews of Tsarist Russia" presents scarcely known and unique pages of the photographic record of Jewish life and culture in Tsarist Russia from the collections of the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg, Russia. The collection includes distinctive and symbolic portraits of Mountain Jews created by the oldest Russian photographer Dmitry I. Ermakov (1845-1916) as well as photographs taken during the famous An-sky expedition of 1912-1914 which had groundbreaking significance for the modern ethnography of East European Jewry. Majority of the photographs were featured at the seminal ethnographic exhibition held in Moscow in 1867, among which are portraits from Mogilev, Vitebsk, Vilno, and Kamenetz-Podolsk provinces, as well as Armenia and Crimea.

The Nazi Olympics: Berlin 1936

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SWWashington, DC United States of America

This exhibition explores the ways in which the Nazis used the Games successfully for military training, pageantry, and propaganda. Ninety-eight exhibit elements and 4 A/V station address some of the controversy surrounding the Games and explores the stories of individual athletes who were barred from competition because of their ethnic or racial heritage, who chose to boycott and forfeit their chance of individual glory, or who - like Jesse Owens - won medals and put the lie to Nazi racial beliefs.

The exhibition is a brilliant historical example of peaceful collaboration and cultural exchange between two superpowers, the United States and the Former Soviet Union. When in the late 1920, the Soviet government decided to establish a Jewish homeland in the Russian Far East, a number of American artists united to support this Jewish settlement in Birobidzhan, the new Promised Land, and organized an exhibit that was meant to be gifted to the Birobidzhan Museum. However, due to Stalin's repressions, it never happened, but the collection ended up at the State Museum of Ethnography in Leningrad. Many works were destroyed during the war, and today the museum has 74 works that are identified as part of the "Gift to Birobidzhan" collection. Majority of them are engravings and some of them are presented in this exhibition.

The renowned anthropologist and Yiddish folklorist Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett interviewed her father Mayer for forty years. She and her family encouraged him to begin painting what he remembered. The result, 60 acrylic on canvas paintings, recalls a lost world in exquisite detail and with extraordinary completeness.

Varian Fry: Assignment Rescue 1940-1941

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SWWashington, DC United States of America

This story, told with 32 wall-hung panels, chronicles Varian Fry's heroic efforts to help political and intellectual refugees escape Nazi-controlled Vichy France in 1940 and 1941. Through his work with the Emergency Rescue Committee's and his own clandestine operation, many artists, writers, philosophers, and their families - Jews and non-Jews alike - were spirited away to safety. By the time the French expelled Fry in September 1941, he and his colleagues had managed to save some 2,000 refugees, including Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Arendt, and Andre Breton.

With Stone Shoes: An Ethiopian Jewish Journey

SHALOM STREET6600 West Maple RoadWest Bloomfield, MI United States of America

The National Museum of American Jewish Military History often creates portable versions of the exhibits on display in the Museum galleries. This exhibition includes 18 panels: 20" x 30" black foam-core, quarter-inch sheets with laminated black and white images .

This exhibition features photographic reproductions of 10 drawings by Helga Weissová, a teenage girl at Terezin. These photographs depict Helga's view of life in the Terezin ghetto in Czechoslovakia, during the Holocaust.

In Terezin, children were allowed to make artwork; Helga's father urged her to draw what she saw. During an exhibit of children's works there, Helga was told to throw hers away, since they were too documentary in nature. Instead she saved them, and when she and her mother were deported to Auschwitz in September 1944, she entrusted the pictures to her uncle. He hid them in a wall until liberation, and then took them back to Prague. Miraculously, Helga and her mother survived, having being transferred from Auschwitz to a work detail in Germany.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage-A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is creating a photography exhibition exploring the little-known Jewish history of the town of Oświęcim, Poland-the town the Germans called Auschwitz. The exhibition will trace the town's history from Jewish settlement in the 16th century, through World War II, and into the post-war period-shedding light on the once-vibrant Jewish life of the town.

The exhibition will include approximately 60 reproduction photographs, 10 reproduction artifacts, text panels and labels.

Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SWWashington, DC United States of America

This thought-provoking exhibition explores the complicity of physicians and scientists in Nazi racial policies. Through reproductions of photographs and documents, films, and survivor testimony, it traces how the persecution of groups deemed biologically inferior led to the near annihilation of European Jewry.

Over the past decade, several hundred thousand visitors to more than a dozen museums in the U.S. have been able to experience first-hand the extraordinary art and story of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz. More than 40years after the Holocaust, Esther depicted her remarkable story of survival through a stunningly beautiful series of 36 fabric collage and embroidery panels. Untrained as an artist, she depicted in vivid color and exquisite detail one young girl's eyewitness account of the war, scenes of tragedy and trauma juxtaposed with the exquisite beauty of the natural surroundings. It is as if nothing escaped Esther's attention, or her memory.

Art and Remembrance offers two versions of this traveling exhibit. The original fabric works are available for exhibit in museums that meet stringent facility requirements and can host the exhibit for two to four months. For small museums, schools, Jewish Community Centers and art galleries, we offer the "Images Exhibit", which consists of near full-size photographic images capturing the vivid color and three-dimensional quality of the original fabric works.

Both exhibits are fully curated and are intended to support broad community outreach on Holocaust education, social justice, immigration and the power of personal narrative in art for both healing and understanding.

Included with both exhibits are "Through the Eye of the Needle", an award-winning 30-minute documentary about Esther, as well as teacher and docent training materials, an audio tour, informational posters and more.

For Americans, the iconography of Nazism is found in the swastika, jackboot, and Nazi banner. But another symbol accompanied the Third Reich: In January 1933, torchlight parades announced the onset of the Nazi revolution; a month later, the Reichstag fire consumed the last vestiges of the Weimar Constitution. In May, German university students launched an "Action Against the Un-German Spirit" targeting authors such as Helen Keller, Ernest Hemingway and Sigmund Freud. The exhibition of 60 free-standing panels with interaction and A/V components explores how the book burnings became a potent symbol in America's battle against Nazism.

The exhibition examines the Jewish experience in the United States through the prisms of "Haven" and "Home." "Haven" opens with a selection of pivotal documents expressing the ideals of freedom that have come to represent the promise of America. This section also explores the formative experiences of Jewish immigrants as they struggled to become American. The "Home" section focuses on the opportunities and challenges inherent in a free society and the uniquely American Jewish religious movements, institutions, and associations created in response. In telling the story of diverse groups of Jewish immigrants who made the United States their home, the exhibition examines the intertwined themes, and sometimes conflicting aims, of accommodation, assertion, adaptation, and acculturation that have characterized the American Jewish experience from its beginnings in 1654 to the present day.

The exhibition arrive ready to install, with curatorial and registrarial information, public relations materials, publications, and installation, handling and shipping instructions. Educational and programming materials may be designed upon request.

The exhibition is based on a compelling collection of rare Holocaust-era letters and photographs, saved at great personal risk by Sala Garncarz from the time she entered her first of seven Nazi labor camps in 1940 until her liberation in 1945. Exhibition components are packed in one 629-lb crate: 62" x 42" x 62." Available through December 2016.

OVERVIEW: The exhibition presents images of Eastern Europe in the mid twentieth century, inspired by the artist's memory of Poland, Ukraine and Russia. Having witnessed the tumultuous years of two world wars and shifting political narratives, Lembersky reveals the land and people who bore the gifts and the burdens of life with grace, humility and compassion.

FELIX LEMBERSKY (1913-1970, born in Lublin, Poland, died in Leningrad, the Soviet Union) was an artist, easel painter, theater sets designer, a teacher and an organizer of artistic groups. A refugee of World War I, he was raised in Berdichev, Ukraine, educated in Kiev and Leningrad, and lived in Leningrad and the Urals. Lembersky was a participant of World War II, a survivor of the Siege of Leningrad, where he was wounded during the city's defense. His parents perished in Holocaust in Ukraine.

Among his most moving works are the portraits of his fellow citizens and the places where he lived. His art is rooted in the early Russian and Jewish Avant-Garde and enriched by the mastery of representational technique and his rigorous classical education at the Academy of Art in Leningrad. The result is a broad range of work--from realism to non-mimetic expression.

Lembersky defined a new direction in Jewish art after the World War II--the art that is centered on Judaic texts, religious and spiritual worldview, and modern Yiddish culture, without reliance on conventional shtetel prototypes. Holocaust is prominent in his work. His Execution. Babi Yarpaintings (1944-52) are considered to be the earliest artistic rendering of the Nazi massacres in Kiev. LEMBERSKY devoted much of his work to the war and Jewish experience in it. Yet despite the gravity of his themes, his paintings are exquisitely beautiful and full of color and light that lift the spirit and delight the eye.

FORMAT: Exhibition comprises 20 to 50 oils and works on paper. All of the work is in Massachusetts. The exhibition would be a resource to viewers with interest in art and history, to academic researchers, students and teachers. It complements curriculum in the areas of Jewish, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish history, World War II and postwar European and Jewish studies, literature, religion and social justice. Programming could include lectures and symposia on American and Soviet interaction, geo-politics and art, as a precursor to current events. In the past, music, film and literary events were held in conjunction with exhibition.

Through reproductions of historic photographs and documents, this free-standing panel exhibition explores the rationale, means, and impact of the Nazi regime’s persecution of homosexuals, which left thousands dead and shattered the lives of many more.

Faye Schulman is the only known Jewish partisan photographer. She was one of 20-30,000 Jews who escaped the Nazis and joined armed resistance - partisan -groups. Curated by Jill Vexler, PhD., Schulman's photographic memoir and personal stories included in the captions document the camaraderie, horror and loss, bravery and triumph of the partisans. Images that have never been seen outside the exhibit provide unique insight into the lives of Jewish and Russian partisans and break the stereotype of Jewish passivity during the Holocaust.

Photographs, documents, and artifacts depict how the largest DP camp in liberated Germany, a self-governed Jewish community, established political, cultural, religious, educational, and social activities that renewed Jewish life and played a significant role in the struggle to establish the State of Israel.

Scream the Truth at the World: Emanuel Ringelblum and the Hidden Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto

Reports on the deportation and murders of Jews, ghetto artifacts, photographs, children's school essays, and ghetto art were collected by the clandestine group from September 1939 until January 1943.

As the Nazis began liquidating the ghetto, Oyneg Shabbes buried the archive in several containers. In 1946, the first cache was pulled from the ghetto's rubble; a second was found in 1950; the last cache has been lost. Less than a handful of the group's members survived. "The Ringelblum Archive," as the materials came to be known, is the most important source for, and the most poignant testimony to, the destruction of Warsaw Jewry.

Rental includes 53 framed reproductions of the artifacts, labels, 4 panels, and 1DVD of the Archives being recovered in 1946.

Space Required: 90 running feet

State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SWWashington, DC United States of America

This groundbreaking multimedia exhibition explores how Nazi propagandists won over millions of Germans to their radical program using sophisticated advertising techniques and the latest technology. It encourages visitors to reflect upon the responsibilities of producers and consumers of propaganda today.

This exhibit uses the narrative of one couple to explore the Holocaust. Through the story of Hedwig and Paul Strnad, visitors will build their understanding of transcontinental connections, Bohemian Jewish history, Theresienstadt concentration camp, and the fashion industry in Czechoslovakia.

The following messages are central to this exhibit:

1) Each victim of the Holocaust has his/her own story that deserves to be remembered.

2) The Holocaust not only took human lives, but also their contributions to our world.

3) The material items around us are an important means of remembering and discerning information about culture and history (drawn designs, dresses, photos, letters, recordings, etc.).

4) The actions of people in our world today can meaningfully help to remember those lost.

Stitching History From the Holocaust is an original exhibition developed by Jewish Museum Milwaukee.

The Nazi Olympics: Berlin 1936

UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM100 Raoul Wallenberg Place, SWWashington, DC United States of America

This exhibition explores the ways in which the Nazis used the Games successfully for military training, pageantry, and propaganda. Ninety-eight exhibit elements and 4 A/V station address some of the controversy surrounding the Games and explores the stories of individual athletes who were barred from competition because of their ethnic or racial heritage, who chose to boycott and forfeit their chance of individual glory, or who - like Jesse Owens - won medals and put the lie to Nazi racial beliefs.

This story, told with 32 wall-hung panels, chronicles Varian Fry's heroic efforts to help political and intellectual refugees escape Nazi-controlled Vichy France in 1940 and 1941. Through his work with the Emergency Rescue Committee's and his own clandestine operation, many artists, writers, philosophers, and their families - Jews and non-Jews alike - were spirited away to safety. By the time the French expelled Fry in September 1941, he and his colleagues had managed to save some 2,000 refugees, including Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Arendt, and Andre Breton.

This exhibition features photographic reproductions of 10 drawings by Helga Weissová, a teenage girl at Terezin. These photographs depict Helga's view of life in the Terezin ghetto in Czechoslovakia, during the Holocaust.

In Terezin, children were allowed to make artwork; Helga's father urged her to draw what she saw. During an exhibit of children's works there, Helga was told to throw hers away, since they were too documentary in nature. Instead she saved them, and when she and her mother were deported to Auschwitz in September 1944, she entrusted the pictures to her uncle. He hid them in a wall until liberation, and then took them back to Prague. Miraculously, Helga and her mother survived, having being transferred from Auschwitz to a work detail in Germany.

Since the 1820s, Jews have played a major role in transforming Florida from the South's least populated state into one of the nation's largest. Bonim portrays approximately 120 Jewish owners, builders, designers, financiers, or civic officials responsible for resorts, hotels, homes, hospitals, shopping malls, airports, highways, and bridges.. The exhibit is presented geographically on a large-scale floor map of Florida, with intersecting vertical panels.

The exhibition examines the Jewish experience in the United States through the prisms of "Haven" and "Home." "Haven" opens with a selection of pivotal documents expressing the ideals of freedom that have come to represent the promise of America. This section also explores the formative experiences of Jewish immigrants as they struggled to become American. The "Home" section focuses on the opportunities and challenges inherent in a free society and the uniquely American Jewish religious movements, institutions, and associations created in response. In telling the story of diverse groups of Jewish immigrants who made the United States their home, the exhibition examines the intertwined themes, and sometimes conflicting aims, of accommodation, assertion, adaptation, and acculturation that have characterized the American Jewish experience from its beginnings in 1654 to the present day.

The exhibition arrive ready to install, with curatorial and registrarial information, public relations materials, publications, and installation, handling and shipping instructions. Educational and programming materials may be designed upon request.

Cuba welcomed Jews for 100 years. Some American Jews helped support the efforts for Cuban Independence beginning in 1892. Sephardim arrived in 1902 and Ashkenazim came in the 1920s. After World War II, German-speaking refugees and Holocaust survivors found a safe haven there. Cuba at first was reluctant to grant Jews nationalized status; the U.S. State Department pressured Havana not to change its policies lest the Jewish immigrants seek entry into the United States. By the 1930s Cubans Jews were permitted to become citizens in Cuba and most lived comfortable lives there until the Revolution on January 1, 1959.

By 1960 many private holdings in Cuba were expropriated. As most of the island's Jews were engaged in business and had gained a secure place in the middle class, many became disenchanted with the Revolution that was beginning to show Communist tendencies. About 10,000 of the 12,000 Cuban Jews had to leave everything behind them when they fled to South Florida.

These large format candid photographs by Randi Sidman-Moore reflect the daily lives and life and holiday cycles rituals of the Cuban Jews in South Florida. With excerpts from oral histories, the images show how they are different or similar to the larger society. These "Jewbans" are examples of diversity within one cultural landscape.

About 12 years ago, Miami photographer Randi Sidman-Moore was on a trip to Israel when she ended up in a bus with Cuban Jews from Miami. ''They had me in tears they were so funny,'' the photojournalist recalls. "The other Jews were so quiet, but they were having a party on the bus. They introduced me to the whole subculture.'' Sidman-Moore says she knew immediately that she wanted to explore the lives of Cuban Jews, to tell in photographs the story of what makes them different from other Jews, and different from other Cubans.

For the traveling exhibition and publication "Mehitza: Seen by women. Ce que femme voit," French photographer Myriam Tangi has researched and stunningly documented the role of the mehitza in synagogue life. Tangi invited leading Jewish thinkers, rabbis, and philosophers to contribute essays questioning and analyzing one of the most important matter in Judaism today: the separation between men and women, their roles and places in synagogue and rituals. Photographs were taken in France, Israel, and New York during Tangi's 10 year journey into this rarely documented element of synagogue architecture, a tangible representation of Jewish thought.

Myriam Tangi is a French photographer, painter and poet who has received numerou prizes and grants.The traveling exhibition features 30 to 40 photographic prints selected from the 70 black-and-white and color images that appear in the bi-lingual French/English art book.

The exhibition will be available for installations in the United States beginning January 2016.

A panel exhibit and a 40-minute documentary film focusing on the service and sacrifice of a very special group of women. Although the men of the "Greatest Generation" have been chronicled many times, little has been written about the experiences of women during that period. Women in the military served in a number of capacities, while at home, they took over many jobs to free men for combat. The war did expand some opportunities not only for women, but for Jewish women. This film and exhibit focuses on the stories of several women, representing the thousands who did their duty and then get on with their lives.

The exhibit consists of 4 panels (25" X 35" each), one title panel (10" X 15"), and an introductory panel (18" X 27".) The introductory panel consists of general historical background. Each of the other panels contains photos and quotes from the participants.

Challenging stereotypes of the Jewish people, the exhibit portrays six communities whose populations share the outward appearance and lifestyles of the people who surround them, with one major difference: they are practicing Jews. Exhibit includes 35 framed photographs, labels, 7 text panels, and accompanying a/v slide exhibition.

· Description: The Scottish Jewish community dates back to the 1700s and has contributed significantly to Scottish life, yet not a lot is known about it. This contemporary photography exhibition seeks to redress this, with images of Jewish life from across Scotland reflecting a diverse community maintaining its traditions while also embracing Scottish culture. This is a unique project never before undertaken and may never be repeated because the community is in decline (now numbering around 6,000). The exhibition is being launched at the Scottish Parliament in February 2014 in the presence of First Minister Alex Salmond. It will then tour throughout the UK and internationally, and the leading publisher Bloomsbury is producing a fine art book of the photographs.

There are 80 images in the full exhibition, all black and white with dimensions (including frame) 17 3/4 " x 13 " x 1 5/8" or 45 cm. x 32 cm. x 1.5 cm. (length x height x width). There will also be two display boards - one giving a brief history of the community, the other listing the sponsors.

The photo exhibition "The Jews of Tsarist Russia" presents scarcely known and unique pages of the photographic record of Jewish life and culture in Tsarist Russia from the collections of the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg, Russia. The collection includes distinctive and symbolic portraits of Mountain Jews created by the oldest Russian photographer Dmitry I. Ermakov (1845-1916) as well as photographs taken during the famous An-sky expedition of 1912-1914 which had groundbreaking significance for the modern ethnography of East European Jewry. Majority of the photographs were featured at the seminal ethnographic exhibition held in Moscow in 1867, among which are portraits from Mogilev, Vitebsk, Vilno, and Kamenetz-Podolsk provinces, as well as Armenia and Crimea.

Fifty international artists explore one of the pillars of Jewish practice and belief: the sanctity of the Sabbath through provocative works of art. In an era when technology and culture have eroded the boundaries separating work, play, and repose, their works invite us to delve into the possibilities and new definitions of renewal symbolized by the 'day of rest.'Through the crucible of their creativity, the artists in this exhibition offer new ways to imagine Shabbat and reflect the profound insights that Abraham Joshua Heschel observed in The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man:

"The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation, from the world of creation to the creation of the world."

This exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue.

The exhibit immerses visitors in an interactive world of Super Heroes and illuminates the creative processes of their originators. features 1940s serials, video interviews, a vintage child-size Bat mobile ride, interactive phone booth, a drawing studio, and costumes. Comes with installation and de-installation supervisor, catalogues, and rights to show serials.

OVERVIEW: The exhibition presents images of Eastern Europe in the mid twentieth century, inspired by the artist's memory of Poland, Ukraine and Russia. Having witnessed the tumultuous years of two world wars and shifting political narratives, Lembersky reveals the land and people who bore the gifts and the burdens of life with grace, humility and compassion.

FELIX LEMBERSKY (1913-1970, born in Lublin, Poland, died in Leningrad, the Soviet Union) was an artist, easel painter, theater sets designer, a teacher and an organizer of artistic groups. A refugee of World War I, he was raised in Berdichev, Ukraine, educated in Kiev and Leningrad, and lived in Leningrad and the Urals. Lembersky was a participant of World War II, a survivor of the Siege of Leningrad, where he was wounded during the city's defense. His parents perished in Holocaust in Ukraine.

Among his most moving works are the portraits of his fellow citizens and the places where he lived. His art is rooted in the early Russian and Jewish Avant-Garde and enriched by the mastery of representational technique and his rigorous classical education at the Academy of Art in Leningrad. The result is a broad range of work--from realism to non-mimetic expression.

Lembersky defined a new direction in Jewish art after the World War II--the art that is centered on Judaic texts, religious and spiritual worldview, and modern Yiddish culture, without reliance on conventional shtetel prototypes. Holocaust is prominent in his work. His Execution. Babi Yarpaintings (1944-52) are considered to be the earliest artistic rendering of the Nazi massacres in Kiev. LEMBERSKY devoted much of his work to the war and Jewish experience in it. Yet despite the gravity of his themes, his paintings are exquisitely beautiful and full of color and light that lift the spirit and delight the eye.

FORMAT: Exhibition comprises 20 to 50 oils and works on paper. All of the work is in Massachusetts. The exhibition would be a resource to viewers with interest in art and history, to academic researchers, students and teachers. It complements curriculum in the areas of Jewish, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish history, World War II and postwar European and Jewish studies, literature, religion and social justice. Programming could include lectures and symposia on American and Soviet interaction, geo-politics and art, as a precursor to current events. In the past, music, film and literary events were held in conjunction with exhibition.

The Time of a Great Dream: American Artists Gift to the Jewish Autonomous Region in the USSR

The exhibition is a brilliant historical example of peaceful collaboration and cultural exchange between two superpowers, the United States and the Former Soviet Union. When in the late 1920, the Soviet government decided to establish a Jewish homeland in the Russian Far East, a number of American artists united to support this Jewish settlement in Birobidzhan, the new Promised Land, and organized an exhibit that was meant to be gifted to the Birobidzhan Museum. However, due to Stalin's repressions, it never happened, but the collection ended up at the State Museum of Ethnography in Leningrad. Many works were destroyed during the war, and today the museum has 74 works that are identified as part of the "Gift to Birobidzhan" collection. Majority of them are engravings and some of them are presented in this exhibition.

Photographs from the Yiddish Theater of New York in the early 1930s. The exhibit is made up of 31 framed images including photographs of Sholom Aleichem and his family, playbills of theatrical productions.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage-A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is creating a photography exhibition exploring the little-known Jewish history of the town of Oświęcim, Poland-the town the Germans called Auschwitz. The exhibition will trace the town's history from Jewish settlement in the 16th century, through World War II, and into the post-war period-shedding light on the once-vibrant Jewish life of the town.

The exhibition will include approximately 60 reproduction photographs, 10 reproduction artifacts, text panels and labels.

Throughout the exhibit, photos, text and video work together to destigmatize mental illness and bring the individuals' personal experiences to life.

Ms. Brodsky is a documentary photographer, author and professor of photography at Carnegie Mellon University. Ms. Brodsky's book with poet Jim Daniels, won the 2007 Tillie Olsen Award given by the Working Class Studies Association.

When Gabriela Landau wandered the streets of New York in the 1950s and ‘60s, her camera focused on a particular and favorite subject: the Lower East Side and its corner delis, street vendors, busy pedestrians, piles of pretzels and handwritten Yiddish signs. Exhibit includes 29 framed 11"x14" photographs and 3 text panels.

This traveling photography exhibition documents the oldest Jewish synagogues and cemeteries in the Western Hemisphere. Images from the remaining historic Jewish sites in Aruba, Barbados, Curacao, Jamaica, Nevis, St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, and Suriname reveal the significant yet little-known legacy of Judaism in the New World. The exhibition and accompanying catalog reveal the strength of the Jewish people and the beauty of their culture, and raise awareness of the urgent need for preservation and protection of these threatened historical treasures.

Cuba welcomed Jews for 100 years. Some American Jews helped support the efforts for Cuban Independence beginning in 1892. Sephardim arrived in 1902 and Ashkenazim came in the 1920s. After World War II, German-speaking refugees and Holocaust survivors found a safe haven there. Cuba at first was reluctant to grant Jews nationalized status; the U.S. State Department pressured Havana not to change its policies lest the Jewish immigrants seek entry into the United States. By the 1930s Cubans Jews were permitted to become citizens in Cuba and most lived comfortable lives there until the Revolution on January 1, 1959.

By 1960 many private holdings in Cuba were expropriated. As most of the island's Jews were engaged in business and had gained a secure place in the middle class, many became disenchanted with the Revolution that was beginning to show Communist tendencies. About 10,000 of the 12,000 Cuban Jews had to leave everything behind them when they fled to South Florida.

These large format candid photographs by Randi Sidman-Moore reflect the daily lives and life and holiday cycles rituals of the Cuban Jews in South Florida. With excerpts from oral histories, the images show how they are different or similar to the larger society. These "Jewbans" are examples of diversity within one cultural landscape.

About 12 years ago, Miami photographer Randi Sidman-Moore was on a trip to Israel when she ended up in a bus with Cuban Jews from Miami. ''They had me in tears they were so funny,'' the photojournalist recalls. "The other Jews were so quiet, but they were having a party on the bus. They introduced me to the whole subculture.'' Sidman-Moore says she knew immediately that she wanted to explore the lives of Cuban Jews, to tell in photographs the story of what makes them different from other Jews, and different from other Cubans.

For the traveling exhibition and publication "Mehitza: Seen by women. Ce que femme voit," French photographer Myriam Tangi has researched and stunningly documented the role of the mehitza in synagogue life. Tangi invited leading Jewish thinkers, rabbis, and philosophers to contribute essays questioning and analyzing one of the most important matter in Judaism today: the separation between men and women, their roles and places in synagogue and rituals. Photographs were taken in France, Israel, and New York during Tangi's 10 year journey into this rarely documented element of synagogue architecture, a tangible representation of Jewish thought.

Myriam Tangi is a French photographer, painter and poet who has received numerou prizes and grants.The traveling exhibition features 30 to 40 photographic prints selected from the 70 black-and-white and color images that appear in the bi-lingual French/English art book.

The exhibition will be available for installations in the United States beginning January 2016.

This exhibition spans six decades of work by renowned photographer Arnold Newman. The collection of 53 framed photographs, 16" x 20", depicts Jewish public figures - artists, entertainers, philosophers, and politicians - each of whom has made a significant impact in his or her field. The images capture the unique personality of the person portrayed.

Faye Schulman is the only known Jewish partisan photographer. She was one of 20-30,000 Jews who escaped the Nazis and joined armed resistance - partisan -groups. Curated by Jill Vexler, PhD., Schulman's photographic memoir and personal stories included in the captions document the camaraderie, horror and loss, bravery and triumph of the partisans. Images that have never been seen outside the exhibit provide unique insight into the lives of Jewish and Russian partisans and break the stereotype of Jewish passivity during the Holocaust.

A panel exhibit and a 40-minute documentary film focusing on the service and sacrifice of a very special group of women. Although the men of the "Greatest Generation" have been chronicled many times, little has been written about the experiences of women during that period. Women in the military served in a number of capacities, while at home, they took over many jobs to free men for combat. The war did expand some opportunities not only for women, but for Jewish women. This film and exhibit focuses on the stories of several women, representing the thousands who did their duty and then get on with their lives.

The exhibit consists of 4 panels (25" X 35" each), one title panel (10" X 15"), and an introductory panel (18" X 27".) The introductory panel consists of general historical background. Each of the other panels contains photos and quotes from the participants.

· Description: The Scottish Jewish community dates back to the 1700s and has contributed significantly to Scottish life, yet not a lot is known about it. This contemporary photography exhibition seeks to redress this, with images of Jewish life from across Scotland reflecting a diverse community maintaining its traditions while also embracing Scottish culture. This is a unique project never before undertaken and may never be repeated because the community is in decline (now numbering around 6,000). The exhibition is being launched at the Scottish Parliament in February 2014 in the presence of First Minister Alex Salmond. It will then tour throughout the UK and internationally, and the leading publisher Bloomsbury is producing a fine art book of the photographs.

· Examples from the Exhibition: http://www.judahpassow.com/galleries/scotgallery/

· Technical: The exhibition will arrive framed and in special crates. There are 80 images in the full exhibition, all black and white with dimensions (including frame) 17 3/4 " x 13 " x 1 5/8" or 45 cm. x 32 cm. x 1.5 cm. (length x height x width). There will also be two display boards - one giving a brief history of the community, the other listing the sponsors.

· Availability: it is available from summer 2014 onwards

· Cost: The project would like the venue to cover installation and taking down, all publicity, one leg of transportation and a rental fee. All this is subject to negotiation.

Recognizing that the situation of fall 1939 required careful documentation and preservation, Emanuel Ringelblum formed a group code-named Oyneg Shabbes (Joy of Sabbath). Its mission was to document Jewish life in Nazi-occupied Poland. Reports on the deportation and murders of Jews, ghetto artifacts, photographs, children's school essays, and ghetto art were collected by the clandestine group from September 1939 until January 1943.

As the Nazis began liquidating the ghetto, Oyneg Shabbes buried the archive in several containers. In 1946, the first cache was pulled from the ghetto's rubble; a second was found in 1950; the last cache has been lost. Less than a handful of the group's members survived. "The Ringelblum Archive," as the materials came to be known, is the most important source for, and the most poignant testimony to, the destruction of Warsaw Jewry.

Rental includes 53 framed reproductions of the artifacts, labels, 4 panels, and 1DVD of the Archives being recovered in 1946.

The photo exhibition "The Jews of Tsarist Russia" presents scarcely known and unique pages of the photographic record of Jewish life and culture in Tsarist Russia from the collections of the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg, Russia. The collection includes distinctive and symbolic portraits of Mountain Jews created by the oldest Russian photographer Dmitry I. Ermakov (1845-1916) as well as photographs taken during the famous An-sky expedition of 1912-1914 which had groundbreaking significance for the modern ethnography of East European Jewry. Majority of the photographs were featured at the seminal ethnographic exhibition held in Moscow in 1867, among which are portraits from Mogilev, Vitebsk, Vilno, and Kamenetz-Podolsk provinces, as well as Armenia and Crimea.

Conceptual photographs based on fragile constructions of broken egg shells convey the vulnerability of exhistence, obstacles to survival, and the imperative to sustain life. Tikkun, the Jewish charge to heal the world, is expressed through the mending of the shattered fragments.

A traveling exhibition of the Voices & Visions Master Series (https://www.voices-visions.org/) is framed and ready to exhibit, and is being made available without a rental charge. The series of 18 posters by master Jewish designers such as Seymour Chwast, R. O. Blechman, Carin Goldberg, and Milton Glaster was commissioned by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. CAJM members were introduced to the project at the 2013 conference in New York. The only cost is for one-way shipping to forward the exhibit to the next exhibitor or to return it to the lender. Two framed sets are available for loan, for a few months at a time, to Jewish museums and gallery spaces. Drafts of the artists' work are also available, but are as yet unframed.

Over the past decade, several hundred thousand visitors to more than a dozen museums in the U.S. have been able to experience first-hand the extraordinary art and story of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz. More than 40years after the Holocaust, Esther depicted her remarkable story of survival through a stunningly beautiful series of 36 fabric collage and embroidery panels. Untrained as an artist, she depicted in vivid color and exquisite detail one young girl's eyewitness account of the war, scenes of tragedy and trauma juxtaposed with the exquisite beauty of the natural surroundings. It is as if nothing escaped Esther's attention, or her memory.

Art and Remembrance offers two versions of this traveling exhibit. The original fabric works are available for exhibit in museums that meet stringent facility requirements and can host the exhibit for two to four months. For small museums, schools, Jewish Community Centers and art galleries, we offer the "Images Exhibit", which consists of near full-size photographic images capturing the vivid color and three-dimensional quality of the original fabric works.

Both exhibits are fully curated and are intended to support broad community outreach on Holocaust education, social justice, immigration and the power of personal narrative in art for both healing and understanding.

Included with both exhibits are "Through the Eye of the Needle", an award-winning 30-minute documentary about Esther, as well as teacher and docent training materials, an audio tour, informational posters and more.

This exhibit uses the narrative of one couple to explore the Holocaust. Through the story of Hedwig and Paul Strnad, visitors will build their understanding of transcontinental connections, Bohemian Jewish history, Theresienstadt concentration camp, and the fashion industry in Czechoslovakia.

The following messages are central to this exhibit:

1) Each victim of the Holocaust has his/her own story that deserves to be remembered.

2) The Holocaust not only took human lives, but also their contributions to our world.

3) The material items around us are an important means of remembering and discerning information about culture and history (drawn designs, dresses, photos, letters, recordings, etc.).

4) The actions of people in our world today can meaningfully help to remember those lost.

Stitching History From the Holocaust is an original exhibition developed by Jewish Museum Milwaukee.
